I just finished listening to @greeborunner.bsky.social discuss CPD at scale with @trustcpdleads.bsky.social. It was a brilliant session that reiterated for me the importance of knowing what difference you want the CPD to make, i.e., what problem are you trying to solve👌🏾.We often lose sight of this.

Why the ECF isn’t keeping teachers in the job
While the Early Career Framework was created with the best intentions, there are several key reasons why it is not improving the retention of new teachers, argues Sam Gibbs

Flex isn’t complicated
Two years ago I published a blog celebrating the 'lockdown babies' turning 3. Somehow, remarkably, our own lockdown baby turns 5 this week, leaving me wondering where that half-decade has gone.

I am incredibly fortunate to work with a board of trustees at TEAL who always seek to do what is right & always back our ideas to make better lives for young people & staff. I am delighted that this week we have agreed to extend full paid adoption leave to colleagues who become kinship carers.

Much as I loved the grown-up book & the TV series, I think the picture book version is even better! Every classroom & library in the country should have a copy of BLACK AND BRITISH: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY by @davidolusoga.bsky.social illustrated by @jakeillustration.bsky.social & Melleny Taylor.

Treating women educators and leaders inequitably eg, #GenderPayGap, lack of representation. In leadership, inflexible approaches and lack of diversity. 👿👿

UPS3 teachers also lead whole-school initiatives, provide pastoral care, and support inspections with their expertise. Cutting them may save costs short-term but risks declining standards, higher turnover, and lost institutional knowledge vital for long-term school success.

Experienced UPS3 teachers bring stability, mentoring, and quality teaching that drive better student outcomes. They support ECTs, reduce turnover costs, and enhance school reputation, making them key to maintaining high standards and consistency, especially in challenging contexts.
